When I Survey the Wondrous Cross was written by Isaac Watts, and published in Hymns and Spiritual Songs in 1707. Here it is done in a reverent style of classic instrumentation with grand piano and harp arpeggios, orchestra ensemble, flute, and an angels choir giving a traditional and timeless feel. 100 BPM.
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.
See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
